McDonald's announced earlier this week that the company would end some initiatives centered on diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI.

McDonalds’s joins the growing list of companies revising DEI policies. McDonald's is putting the emphasis on inclusion and dropping the diversity and equity words.

McDonald’s is ending some of its diversity practices, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

The fast-food chain is the latest high-profile brand to scale back its diversity goals amid a rocky legal landscape and pressure from conservative activists.

After a broader corporate retreat from diversity goals last year, McDonald’s Corp. on Monday became the first big company to do so this year, citing a 2023 Supreme Court ruling and other companies rethinking their equity programs.

McDonald's is retiring its goal for diversity in corporate leadership and shifting away from some diversity practices, citing a "shifting legal landscape" in the United States in an open letter sent to employees and franchise owners.

McDonald’s joins a growing list of companies that are pulling back on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Like others before it, the fast-food chain cites a U.S. Supreme Court decision in July 2023 that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

McDonald's announced Monday it is scrapping some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest company to make changes amid activist pressure.

McDonald's is the latest company to reexamine their DEI commitments amidst growing political scrutiny and conservative backlash following the Supreme Court's 2024 ruling. Companies like Walmart, John Deere and others rolled back their DEI initiatives in the past year.
